The Democratic United Minions of JLIANG is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Kevin Minion with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.569 billion Minions enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minion City. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Minionese economy, worth a remarkable 1,140 trillion Banana Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 204,882 Banana Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Minion City for fear of causing a fuss, and halberds are common 18th birthday presents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. JLIANG's national animal is the Minion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Despicable Banana.

JLIANG is ranked 5,406^th in the world and 80^th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 543.91 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
